Fair week 2026 has came to a end and I am so happy for the village of support around our kids. Memories made, fun had, all of their hard work and accountability paid off.

I am extremely proud of all of my horse kiddos and the hard work they've put in throughout the year. I was happy to award top 15 prizes from Hillsdale Horse Leaders and Overall and Reserve Overall buckles.
